Board of Supervisors Hold Hearings Regarding Roads and Land

The Washington County Board of Supervisors held two public hearings as part of their meeting yesterday. The first hearing was for vacating part of a county road in Cedar Township. This road is located off 210th Street in the southeastern part of the township. County Engineer Jacob Thorius explains why they are vacating the road.
